veggie niche markets

alot of these are multi-million pound companies catering to 'ethical' or veggie/vegan niche markets. Why use indymedia to promote them? i'm sure there marketing department can do it for them selves- by putting on a veggie road show for instance.

I know, I know, it's not perfect, and some, but not all of them are in it for the money and not the ethics, but at least it's something. If it makes just one person sit up and think about stopping eating animals and becoming veggie or vegan, then it's worth it, hundreds of animals are then saved. Then that person can decide whether or not to support multinationals or not. It's nigh on impossible to completely opt out of supporting these companies, even if you're the most ethical vegan going. I do agree with you, but the general aims of the roadshow are ethical, even if some of the companies are not. Why not go down there and grill them on their policies?
